Moco

Moco (died 1992) was a Mexican drug cartel boss in Coahuila. In 1992, he was killed by the musician El Mariachi in revenge for Moco's murder of his lover, Domino.

Biography
"Moco" (meaning "mucus" in Spanish), born Mauricio, was born in Texas to a family of mixed white American and Mexican descent, and he spoke Spanish with a slight American accent. He later came to Coahuila, Mexico and became the boss of a cartel based out of a ranch near Ciudad Acuna, and he became quite wealthy from the drug trade. Moco used his wealth to hire a pool girl and to woo a Ciudad Acuna resident, Domino, giving her ownership of a bar, jewellery, and a motorcycle, among other gifts. He later became greedy and attempted to set up his assassin, Azul, having him jailed, but failing to have him murdered in 1992. Azul embarked on a quest of revenge, although Moco's hit squad mistook the musician El Mariachi for Azul, and Mariachi sought shelter at Domino's bar. Mariachi and Domino became lovers, and Domino hung up on a call from Moco so that she could play dominos with Mariachi.

Later, Mariachi was brought to Moco by his hit squad leader, Rufo Orozco Bustamante, who believed that he had captured the assassin. However, Moco identified him as the wrong man and let him go. Despite this, Domino believed that Mariachi was still in Moco's captivity, and she agreed to lead Azul to Moco's ranch so that she could rescue Mariachi, and so that Azul could get his long-overdue hit payment from Moco. Moco agreed to give the payment to Azul, who pretended to hold Domino hostage, but he was enraged when Domino asked about El Mariachi. Moco was angry at the thought of El Mariachi feeling Domino with his hands, and he shot Domino with a pistol, killing her. He then proceeded to execute Azul.

Death
Moments later, Mariachi arrived at Moco's ranch on Domino's motorcycle, and he found his lover dead. He cried over her body, and Moco shot Mariachi in the hand to prevent him from ever playing the guitar again. He then taunted and laughted at the Mariachi, who, in a state of grief and rage, picked up Azul's gun and shot Moco several times, killing him. Moco's men, seeing their leader dead, walked off and left a dead Moco and Mariachi's wounded body behind.
